New class ideas

Chemist would be complex and fun. I’d love to see it have a button sequence like DNC for potion creation...that would bring a unique element to healing. Of course, it would need preset heals/attacks for combat efficiency but the bulk of its skills focused around memorizing sequences, would make for something special.

I mean, it's pretty easy to make 24 abilities. Look at Dragoon. The bulk of the abilities it uses aren't ones it used any other game. It's not fused with any other jobs. It's still a full fledged job. Zero jobs are so narrow you can't make them work. Especially when so many of the moves for a healer especially are relatively simple. Damage, Damage over time, AoE, Revive, basic heal, so on and so forth. When the amount of actually unique abilities/mechanics you have to make for a job are typically fairly small it's not very tricky to pull off.

For Chemist/Time Mage funnily I have the same idea of basically "bottling/precasting" moves and expending them rapid fire. But honestly it probably won't work.
